Using a stylus to edit or draw in photoshop is much more natural than using a mouse.
You can check out a box that contains all the necessary parts from your TA or Peer Tutor the same way you check out cameras.
Be sure to check in all pieces when you're done.
The stylus needs to be clicked off when done so we don't drain the battery.
The stylus will replace your mouse, but won't work exactly the same.
Spend some time practicing how to move around Photoshop with the stylus.
Your Assignment:
Create an artwork that combines 2D and 3D elements in a creative way.

It can be a portrait, landscape, still life, etc. Anything that inspires you.
Open the photograph in Photoshop
Create a NEW layer and begin your drawing.

OPTION 1 - Zentangle Zentangle: An easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured, repeated patterns.
Zentangle Portrait: using the art of Zentangle or other doodles to add to a portrait.
OPTION 2 - Outline Use simple lines and outlines of the contours. Lines may remain on the traced element or may be moved or stretched to create a unique effect.
OPTION 3: Illustration Draw in something that wasn't there before. Use the paint bucket to fill in shapes with color or maybe the gradient tool to fill in a blend of colors. Maybe keep it simple with a line drawing and no color.
